Mars is known from old as Venus complimentary opposite poll. Mars is often perceived as Venus's spouse. Where Venus brings people together, Mars is a separating influence between people. Mars also stands for older traditional masculine values such as courage, strength and war. As long as someone gives him balance then all is well and good and strengths can be engaged in pioneering.

Mars can also have a less pleasant side of destructivity and personal success without any regard for others. If Mars is too strong in the horoscope then this is likely expressed in acts of grimness, thirst for power and exaggerated egoism. Yet it is important that there is some influence from Mars in a horoscope so as a person can activate courage and strength to meets life's difficulties.

The true warriors of our day are men such as Ghandi and Lennon. Just as with Mercury, Mars is also a force devoid of judgmental principles. How Mars reacts is circumstantial to the setting in which he is found.
